BREAKING: The Oklahoma City Thunder trading All-Defensive wing Lu Dort to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal that sends three second-round picks to OKC, former No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher to the Dallas Mavericks and Ryan Nembhard to Atlanta, sources tell ESPN.
@Kenrick_Scott1 teams can have up to 21 players on their roster during the off-season, they hold onto them until the start of the regular season so someone is definitely getting traded/waived/bought out
The Dallas Mavericks have matched the New York Knicks' two-year, $4.7 million offer sheet on restricted free agent Moussa Cisse, Yann Balikouzou and Kevin Bradbury of LIFT Sports Management tell ESPN. The 6-foot-11 center signed the Knicks sheet earlier Saturday but Dallas matches well before 48-hour Monday deadline.
The Moussa Cisse offer sheet from Knicks starts at veterans minimum of $2.5M, per league source. If Mavs don’t match offer sheet by 11:59 pm on Monday, Knicks would land young center to bolster depth after Mitchell Robinson & Ariel Hukporti signed elsewhere. If Mavs don’t match, Knicks would lose the ability to sign their draft picks to contracts via the second round minimum while also staying under 2nd apron. So Tyler Nickel and Jack Ayil would need to agree to two-way deals to play with Knicks in ‘26-‘27. ESPN reports that Cisse offer sheet is half guaranteed in Year One and nonguaranteed in Year 2. @JakeLFischer first reported agreement.
Restricted free agent Moussa Cisse has agreed to a two-year contract offer sheet with the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN. His salary is half guaranteed in the first year and 2027-28 is non-guaranteed. The Dallas Mavericks have 48 hours to match or not.
